Definitely not a wrinkled rose -- those are your basic beach roses, like in the Porter Square parking lot, and they seem to always be the same pink color; not mention that they have larger, more delicate petals.
Pasture roses have a little more variation in color, but I still don't see this deep, dark red. Then again, I'm looking at the first hundred or so results in Google Image, so I may be missing something.
My guesses were based at a quick glance at Peterson's Field Guide to Wildflowers (1968 ed.), which doesn't mention quinces. I should get a new edition.
You can make a kind of quince jelly/butter out of the fruits in the fall but you have to add a lot of sugar they are pretty tart. it ends up tasting kind of like cranberries or rhubarb. Not really sure it is worth the effort, but YMMV. The flowering quince fruits don't get as big as the true quince, and in my experience the resulting butter doesn't get that pink color true quince does.
